Notes
Can I freeze Christmas Rice Krispies Treats?
Yes, you can, but they are much better the day they are made. If you want to freeze them, place them in the freezer for one hour. Then remove them from the freezer and take the treats out of the pan, wrap them with two layers of plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil. They will keep for up to six weeks in the freezer. I can’t find green candy melts. What else can I use?
You can use white chocolate candy melts and add green food coloring. Why do I need to add coconut oil to the melted chocolate?
It helps thin out the chocolate so it will spread evenly over the cereal treats. How should you store cereal treat bars?
It’s best to store them in an airtight container at room temperature. I like to stack them with wax paper or parchment paper separating the layers. They will keep well for up to three days. Where did you find the heart sprinkles?
Some grocery stores have them as well as Walmart. They are also sold at craft stores like Michael’s or online.
